In this hard-hitting and timely book, world-renowned scientists and writers Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich speak out
against what they call the "brownlash." Brownlash rhetoric, created by public relations spokespersons and a few dissident
scientists, is a deliberate misstatement of scientific findings designed to support an anti-environmental world view and political
agenda. As such, it is deeply disturbing to environmental scientists across the country. The agenda of brownlash proponents
is rarely revealed, and the confusion and distraction its rhetoric creates among policymakers and the public prolong an already
difficult search for realistic and equitable solutions to global environmental problems. In Betrayal of Science and Reason,
the Ehrlichs explain clearly and with scientific objectivity the empirical findings behind environmental issues including
population growth, desertification, food production, global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, and biodiversity loss. They
systematically debunk revisionist "truths" and counter the erroneous information and misrepresentation put forth by the brownlash,
presenting accurate scientific information about current environmental threats that can be used to evaluate critically and
respond to the commentary of the brownlash. They include important background material on how science works and provide extensive
references to pertinent scientific literature. In addition, they discuss how scientists can speak out on matters of societal
urgency yet retain scientific integrity and the support of the scientific community. Betrayal of Science and Reason is an
eye-opening look at current environmental problems and the fundamental importance of the scientific process in solving them.
It presents unique insight into the sources and implications of anti-environmental rhetoric, and provides readers with a valuable
means of understanding and refuting the feel-good fables that constitute the brownlash

"Our most potentially disastrous national problem, along with the danger of nuclear war and threats to the environment, is
the pressing catastrophe of massive illegal immigration. The 2,000 mile United States-Mexican border is the only place in
the world where a wealthy, heavily industrialized stable country is confronted directly by a struggling, preindustrial nation.
United States prosperity relies on a stable population, and Mexico, with her burgeoning population, increasing poverty, and
massive unemployment is threatening the traditional U.S. life-style. Stereotyped thinking, based on racism or fear, will not
solve these problems. The Golden Door is a sensitive exploration of a difficult situation, and this edition includes new material
on the Cuban, Salvadoran, and Haitian migration to the United States"--P. [4] of cover

"Over millions of years and through countless genetic twists and turns, humanity has evolved into the dominant animal. We
have populated the globe, reshaped most landscapes, eradicated myriad populations and species of other organisms, and even
transformed the oceans and climate." "The vast environmental changes we have produced and the intricate cultures we have created
are now shaping evolution. From the complex workings of our genes to what we eat and how we govern ourselves, we are changing
our world and our world is changing us. We are creating our future. But what kind of future will it be?" "Renowned scientists
and thinkers Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich tackle that fundamental question in this exploration of evolution, environment,
and culture. The Dominant Animal is a scientific field trip across time and space, from the microscopic to the global. The
Ehrlichs weave together the theories of Darwin, empirical studies of fruit flies, lizards, and disease, the fossil record,
the psychology of perception and belief systems, the nature of the human genome, and the power of culture and environment
into a single illuminating thread."--Jacket

In an easily accessible work of enormous scope and depth, John J. Berger vividly evokes the looming hazards of a warmer world.
Based on the latest climate science, Climate Peril reveals that the impacts of climate change on our health, economy, and
environment are far worse--and more imminent--than many realize. The book identifies the obstacles to climate protection and
shows why steep and unprecedented--yet affordable--cuts in greenhouse gases are needed now to avert a global climate catastrophe.
Climate Peril portrays the radically altered world we will create in 2100 A.D. if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced
and documents the rapid and unnatural climate change already taking place. The book explores all major consequences of climate
change, especially its astonishing impacts on the economy, human health, other species, and the oceans. Among other awesome
risks, Climate Peril describes the billions of tons of carbon lurking in ocean seabeds and thawing permafrost and the global
danger of crossing an invisible threshold beyond which catastrophic climate changes become inevitable. While its conclusions
are alarming, Climate Peril is above all a realistic and authoritative book that you can use to better understand how climate
change may affect you and your family. Climate Peril is the second of a three book series. Volume 1, Climate Myths, focused
on the political campaign waged against climate science, and volume 3, Climate Solutions (forthcoming), shows how to create
a climate-safe world by radically transforming global energy, transportation, and land use practices. Early comments: A brilliant
book, and one that might just change the world. By far the best overview of climate science and its implications for our planet
that I've ever read. - Tim Flannery, Chief Councilor, Australian Climate Council, and Author, The Weather Makers * I applaud
Climate Peril for showing so clearly that climatic disruption is the consuming issue of our time and our response in the next
few years will determine the fate of this civilization. - George M. Woodwell, Founder, Director Emeritus, and Senior Scientist,
Woods Hole Research Center * Climate Peril is an excellent primer on the causes and effects of climate change, which, as John
Berger notes, imperils our very existence and that of all natural systems on which we depend. - Lester R. Brown, President,
Earth Policy Institute and Author of Full Planet, Empty Plates * Read Climate Peril and you will become well informed about
what probably is the greatest threat ever faced by civilization. - Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich, from the Introduction
to Climate Peril * Climate Peril lays the foundation for understanding the actions we must take to begin building a sustainable
world for the future. Highly recommended! - Peter H. Raven, President Emeritus, Missouri Botanical Garden. About the Author:
John J. Berger, Ph.D., writes about climate change from the perspective of an internationally respected energy and natural
resources expert. Trained in ecology, Dr. Berger has served as a consultant to government, scientific, academic, and nonprofit
organizations, including the U.S. Congress and the National Academy of Sciences

"During the past sixty-eight years, Israel's population has increased from one to eight million people. Such exponential growth
has produced acute environmental and social crises in this tiny country. Alon Tal, one of Israel's foremost environmentalists,
considers the ramifications of the extraordinary demographic shift, from burgeoning pollution and dwindling natural resources
to overburdened infrastructure and overcrowding. Based on extensive fieldwork and interviews, the book examines the origins
of Israel's population policies and how they must change to support a sustainable future."--Provided by publisher
